Reviews For The Margate Coffee Shed

Nice coffee shop with great atmosphere, they service in and outside. I must say, being portuguese, I had some portuguese custard pies here that put some of ours to shame. Loved it.!

So pleased I came here. Our dog was made very welcome and given some lovely biscuits. Staff were excellent, very friendly and informative. We only had a drink and a sandwich but what a sandwich it was! Butternut Squash at its best. I haven't had a sandwich that good in ages. Thank you everyone at the Margate Coffee Shed.

Absolutely fantastic service, so friendly and helpful! Managed to grab a table in the sun (after it was disinfected) and then had a brilliant brunch. Large amount of salmon and avocado with the sourdough; eggs Benedict was very good too.

It was busy when we went but service was still very good. I liked the tap water station. Food was great. My croque madam was soooo tasty!!!

One of my favourite spots in Margate all year round! The food is always amazing, and they have a variety of specials which change throughout the year. I make the most of the quieter times to study here and the atmosphere is always welcoming and warm, making it a wonderful place to sit, think and write. It is even better when the sun is out as they have outside seating - so you can enjoy the sun and sea air.

Delightful atmosphere with a cute shop. Helpful and friendly servers, who were happy to advise about the local area. Wasn't cheap, but you were paying for the prime sea view. Really a lovely place to be and highly recommend a visit here!
